Is it public information if home owner owns a mortgage or owns the home straight up

[Jimmy Rojas]

Is it public information to see of home owner still has a mortgage or paid home cash, if so where can i see this information, something similar how you can see the sold history of any home.

If it exists, a mortgage or deed of trust will be recorded in public record at the county courthouse. So, yes, it is public information that a person has a mortgage. Just search your county records via the register of deeds. For Phoenix, just google phoenix arizona registry of deeds and click on Maricopa County Recorder and Elections Department, then select Search Recorded Documents under the "Recorder" tab. Then you can search for documents.
